Looking to revitalize an industry badly damaged by the economic downturn, the Florida Home Builders Association (FHBA) launched a new website Tuesday to serve as a storehouse of information for contractors and construction workers in the Sunshine State.

A bill supported by the Homebuilders Association of Florida could provide relief to homeowners across Florida who have been affected by Chinese drywall over the past two years. It could also indemnify developers from some future legal action. The legislation passed the Insurance, Business and Financial Affairs Policy Committee in the House Thursday.
